DESCRIPTION

Plant Profile
Mentha arvensis, commonly known as field mint. It is a hardy herbaceous perennial. It is characterized by its square, hairy stems and a creeping rhizomatous rootstock that allows it to spread rapidly. The leaves are typically arranged in opposite pairs along the stem. They are ovate to lanceolate in shape. Their length ranges from 2–6.5 cm in length. The leaf edges are clearly serrated or "toothed" margins. The leaves are famous for their strong, refreshing aroma. This scent comes from essential oil glands containing high concentrations of menthol. Unlike many other mint species, its flowers do not form terminal spikes. Mentha arvensis features small, pale purple, pink, or white flowers. Instead, the flowers grow in dense, circular clusters called whorls (verticillasters). They appear at the leaf axils along the stem. Geographically, Mentha arvensis is native to temperate regions throughout the Northern Hemisphere.

Healthcare Perspective
In Ayurveda, Mentha arvensis is traditionally identified as Pudina. It is primarily used to balance the Kapha and Pitta doshas. It is classified as a carminative and digestive stimulant. It is frequently prescribed to manage gastrointestinal discomfort. Including indigestion, intestinal colic, and flatulence. Its action is deep to its Deepana (appetizer) and Pachana (digestive) properties. The leaves are often processed into a distillate known as Pudina Ark. It is used to alleviate nausea and vomiting. Beyond digestion, Ayurvedic practices incorporate the plant into treatments. Including respiratory congestion and as a cooling agent to soothe skin inflammations or allergic rashes. In other global healthcare systems, the plant's high menthol content serves as a primary driver for its therapeutic use. Traditional Chinese Medicine utilizes the plant to expel "wind-heat". It helps to manage sore throats, headaches, and early-stage fevers. In various indigenous and folk traditions across North America and Europe, leaf decoctions are common. They are used as a mild sedative to calm the nervous system or as an antispasmodic to relieve menstrual cramps. Modern natural medicine frequently incorporates essential oil. It is added to topical balms for muscle pain relief. It is also used in oral care products for its antimicrobial and breath-freshening qualities.

Phytochemical Composition
The chemical profile of Mentha arvensis is dominated by its essential oil. This oil is exceptionally rich in menthol. Menthol usually makes up to 70% to 95% of the total oil content depending on the variety and cultivation conditions. This main monoterpene alcohol gives the plant its cool feel and antiseptic benefits. Other key volatile compounds, including menthone, isomenthone, and menthyl acetate are also present. It contribute to the herb's distinct aroma and therapeutic effects. The leaves also contain significant amounts of limonene, pulegone, and 1,8-cineole (eucalyptol). These compounds suggest carminative and respiratory-supporting actions. Mentha arvensis has not just volatile oils. It also contains many non-volatile bioactive compounds. These include polyphenols and flavonoids. Including quercetin, luteolin, hesperidin, and menthoside, which provide potent antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits. The plant is also a source of specialized phenolic acids. These include rosmarinic acid, caffeic acid, and chlorogenic acid. They are linked to its antimicrobial and cardioprotective potential. Additionally, the leaves contain trace amounts of linarin (especially in the flowers). Tannins and triterpenes like ursolic acid are also present. The plant provides essential nutrients including vitamin C, vitamin K, and minerals such as calcium and iron.
